The annual meeting for the award of academic distinctions for the year 1906-07 will be held in Sanders Theatre at 8 o'clock next Wednesday evening. Dean Hurlbut will be the presiding officer and will make a brief statement of the purposes of the meeting. The principal address will be delivered by Owen Wister '82, author of "The Virginian" and other well-known books, on "Our Country and the Scholar."

Music will be furnished by part of the chorus of graduates which sang at the dedication of the Medical School, and has sung at other college gatherings. After the meeting they will sing at the Union, and all members of the University are invited there to meet Mr. Wister.

Seats on the platform will be reserved for members of the Faculty and those on the floor for scholarship, prize and detur winners, and for former winners of Bowdoin prizes. Seats in the first balcony will be reserved for invited guests and members of the University until 7.55 o'clock, when the public will be admitted. The second balcony will be open to the public throughout.

Deturs will be awarded to men who have won positions in the first group and who have never before received a detur. These deturs are books purchased with the income of a fund established by Edward Hopkins in the seventeenth century. They are bound in red leather with the seal of the University stamped in gold on the cover.
